Partial The web UI and GitHub API integration are vibe-codeable. However, a polished native Mac client with reliable background, two-way sync against GitHub Projects is a hard engineering problem that AI coding alone will not solve well.
What it would actually take: The web version is a React-style client over the GitHub GraphQL API. The native Mac app would need Swift or a similar native stack. The hard part is an offline-first sync engine with conflict resolution, rate-limit handling, and webhooks, which requires careful distributed-systems work.
